What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 13, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (6)

No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; the CBSA field has been left blank. Given the DoD focus and TS/SCI requirement, the role is likely on-site at a government facility, but no city or state is stated.

The posting titles the role 'Full Stack Developer' with no seniority modifier, but the 5+ years requirement, DoD production delivery expectations, and scope of responsibilities support a Senior classification.

Several skills (semantic search, entity resolution, graph databases, ML/AI pipelines, Agile) appear in the responsibilities or experience narrative rather than under a hard-requirements gate, so they are marked preferred.

The degree requirement is stated as a Bachelor's in a technical discipline with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause, so it is treated as a hard requirement.

The TS/SCI clearance is explicitly stated as required ('TS/SCI required') and is a hard gate for this role.

Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
